Everton vs. Hull
Everton are coming off a 3-1 loss against Manchester City on matchday 7 and Roberto Martinez's men are looking to bounce back and protect their turf.
They are also on a 12-game unbeaten run at home in the Premier League, coming up with seven clean sheets in their recent eight matches.
Nevertheless, Martinez is still optimistic that the Toffees can immediately turn the tides around as his men have been delivering solid performance in the League, early in the season.
"We're pleased with the start but it's just a start and we need to keep on growing," Martinez told premierleague.com.
"What we need to do now is carry on developing a way of playing that is going to be consistent and strong throughout the season."
"I feel the squad is ready to do that. That's our next target, to concentrate on Saturday and make sure we carry on with the level of performance we have shown throughout this season."
Everton are, however, marred with injuries as Darron Gibson just went down with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, while Antolin Alcaraz, Apostolos Vellios, and Steven Pienaar are all ruled out for the game.
Meanwhile, spirits are high at the Hull City camp as Steve Bruce's men have yet to suffer a loss from their recent four games.
Top striker Robbie Brady will come back after being sidelined because of injury and Bruce expressed that Brady might take part in their game on Saturday.
"Thankfully it looks as though everybody is coming back OK," Bruce told the club's official website.
"We're still waiting for Ahmed Elmohamady, Gedo and Maynor Figueroa to get back but having spoken with medical staff, everything seems ok so that is the most important thing."
James Chester and Robert Koren will not be able to suit up for the Tigers.
Line-ups:
Everton: Howard, Robles, Springthorpe, Baines, Coleman, Distin, Duffy, Heitinga, Hibbert, Jagielka, Oviedo, Stones, Barkley, Barry, McCarthy, Osman, Deulofeu, Gueye, Jelavic, Kone, Lukaku, Mirallas, Naismith.
Hull City: Harper, Jakupovic, McGregor, Bruce, Davies, Dudgeon, Faye, Figueroa, McShane, Rosenior, Brady, Boyd, Elmohamady, Huddlestone, Livermore, Meyler, Quinn, Aluko, Fryatt, Gedo, Graham, McLean, Proschwitz, Sagbo.
